Special Recording Edit Operations Finalizing a Disc Finalizing a disc marks the final process in recording on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. In this process, a TOC (Table Of Contents) is written to the disc. When this procedure is completed, it will be possible to play the CD-R or CD-RW disc on CD players compatible with CDR and/or CD-RW discs. • Please note that once a CD-R disc has been finalized, it is no longer possible to record to that disc. • If the power of the unit is turned off or the AC power cord unplugged from the wall outlet during the finalizing process, the recording may be lost and the disc may no longer be usable. • Even after a CD-RW disc has been finalized, further recording and/or editing is possible if the TOC information on the disc is erased using the Unfinalize function. • When an unfinalized CD-R or CD-RW disc is loaded in the CDR and the OPEN/CLOSE 0 button is pressed to open the CDR disc tray, "FINALIZE?" is shown in the information display. To skip the finalization process, press the OPEN/CLOSE 0 button one more time. The disc will be ejected in the unfinalized state.

Making Recording of a Finalized CD-RW Disc Possible (Unfinalize Function) Once a CD-R disc has been finalized, further recording on that disc cannot be performed. However, if you erase the TOC (Table of Contents) on a CD-RW disc, the disc can be recorded on again. 13 POWER COMPACT DISC RECORDER SL-PR300 PHONES MIN MAX PLAY MODE CD EDIT CD REC DISC 3 DISC 2 DISC 1 OPEN / CLOSE DISC SELECTOR 3 2 1 OPEN / CLOSE MULTI JOG REC LEVEL - + DIGITAL CD LINE REC SELECTOR SYNCHRO FINALIZE MENU SET CANCEL REC/ REC MUTE MIX BALANCE LINE CD 2 4,5 CANCEL 1 Load a finalized CD-RW disc into the CDR disc tray. • The CD-RW and FINALIZED indicators will be shown in the display window if the CD-RW disc that has been finalized. 2 When the unit is in the stop mode, press the MENU button (main unit/remote control). 3 Turn the MULTI JOG control on the main unit or press the P/p (menu) button on the remote control until "UNFINALIZE" is shown in the information display. 4 Press the SET button (main unit/remote control). • "UNFINALIZE?" is shown in the information display. • Press the CANCEL button (main unit/remote control) to cancel the procedure and return to the normal display. !& RQT6087
